My alternator keep draining my new batteries from to much electrical pull and turns off all my digital dash and says my brake system is in failure and there is something wrong with the suspension in the front end even though I have had it fixed and the same problem has returned. I had my battery explode. The transmission jerks whenever it shifts and the transmission fluid is full and I maintain it on a regular basis. It is driven in town only. I am scared of it catching on fire now since I just saw that it is still has a recall that has not been repaired and I bought it used and I was told all recalls were taken care of. I have my grandchildren in this vehicle weekly. I want to see about getting this looked at and repaired correctly. I fear for my safety.

Brake pedal is very hard to press, there is a hissing noise sometimes it may sound like a whistle inside the car from the brakes. Took car to mechanic & was advised the brake power booster is bad & that there is a recall on it, however for some reason my car is not included in this recall.........why?

On 11/7-22, I stopped at a major traffic light on my way to work and when the traffic light turned green and I motioned to drive forward, I noticed my car had stalled and proceeded to roll backwards in traffic. I quickly placed my foot on the gas pedal to move forward, however my car continued to roll backwards, almost hitting the vehicle behind me. So I immediately put on my emergency lights and pressed the brakes repeatedly, however my brakes were frozen (hard) and did not stop my car from rolling backwards. After several minutes, my car stopped rolling backwards and I was able to restart it and slowly drive off the major highway to get assistance. When driving off the highway my car was moving extremely slow and rough. Since the incident, my car have not been inspected or repaired by a mechanic. Prior to this incident, my car have stalled out at stops and while driving but never rolled backwards or lost brake control.

When braking, the brake petal is hard to push. I traveled about 10 miles the other day and it happened about 20 times so now I'm trying not to drive until Friday when my shop can check the brakes and if I do have to drive I will stay great distance behind other vehicles. The mechanic said it sounds like brake booster problem. I checked online and found that other Ford Edge vehicles are having this problem, but there is no recall.

When I press the breaks to stop, it is hard to press, like I'm pushing against air and on a complete stop it continues to move in motion. (the breaks don't stop the vehicle when stationary. It started 2 days ago and I'm scared because I had my niece in the car and I almost ran off the road where an incoming car was going to hit me straight on my left. If I break it also jumps the car like if I was hit from behind. It's very rough.

Driving down the road and all of a sudden my brake pedal got real spongy and then sounded like air blowing through lines. Barely got home with minimal brake usage. I was driving on lee road luckily not too far from my home. Also fog lights don't work. Not sure if it's a switch related problem or something else. It also feels like the transmission is acting up like the car doesn't want to go especially in reverse without really getting on the pedal. And it rolls backwards on hills like it's a manual transmission

I bought my car a few years ago from a used car lot. I have had problems ever since. My breaks keep going, my transmission is slipping and the trimming around my windshield is falling out. I'm afraid the windshield is going to fly off. All I keep seeing ate problems with this car.

When making a stop or already stopped, the brake pedal gets very hard to push. When hitting the gas there is some resistance. I notice the brake pedal gets stuck. In order to unstick it, I have to put my foot under the break to pop it up.

I have replaced the ptu in my 07 Ford Edge a few years back that the dealership themselves told me there should have been a recall on it because of the poor design for $500. Now I am having to replace the power brake booster because I would be driving and hear a hissing noise when braking or my brakes would get really firm. Which I was told that the original owner could have replaced free of charge not as a recall, but something else. That is now going to cost $900. I drive kids that I have had pretty important things fail that Ford never recalled and it really makes me consider investing in another Ford ever again. If safety issues aren't enough to recall. And it took them years to replace the air bags.

I just had new brakes put on my car. A few days after the brakes were very spongy and felt like they would not work. They also made a loud high pitched noise. My mechanic looked my car over and said it was the brake boosters.

I have had to replace the brake booster, front brakes and rear brakes. There has been several recalls on the 2007 brake boosters for this year/model but apparently Ford will not reimburse me $982.05 because my VIN number wasn't included in the recall. I would like reimbursement for this cost.
